american government, the british government, do not pay ransomes. i think countries need to coordinate a response to what is a growing tactic. there are now 30 journalists skid napped by insurgents. this is a huge problem. again, the western world and others need to come one a tactic with how to respond. >> i didn't, i thought they were lewissal. in my case they requested $25,000 in cash. it was never going to happen. the drone strikes occur because the military won't move, and end the safe haven that exists there. and al quaida with all of these captives and western captain is traps this. >> you escaped. >> i did. myself and two colleague whose had been skid napped with me as well, we had been invited to an interview, and they abducted and took us over theboarder, with the help of one of the after gang journalists we made our way to a military base, and a captain there, and i want to say they are very brave soldiers that are fighting the taliban, he let us on the base, and saved our lives. the third captain he was freed about six weeks later, so i

i'm in here for kidnapping, ransom, and murder. so that kind of bad, you know?>> galvin's last kidnapping ended beyond that. even before it got to the ransom stage, one of his victims managed to call his parents and give his location. >> when i was in the car with these two kids -- well, they weren't kids, they were over 18. i don't mess with, you know, kids under 18, you know. they called their parents. and the cops ended up following us, and the helicopter. so, you know, it ended kind of bad. that's how i got caught, you know. >> well, what happened? >> well, i cut the guy's neck. and the cops surrounded the car and pulled me out, you know what i mean? >> did he die? >> yeah. >> ironically, robert galvin is both a predator and a parent. he has four kids ranging from 8 to 16 years old. >> i let them know about the mistakes i made so they don't repeat them and don't end up in here. i do what i can for them money wise. you know, send them money and, you know, put it in the bank. hopefully, you know, college, you know. that's what i want. i want them to accomplish

i mean, they are holding your files and folders ransom. it is ransom ware. you need to pay to have access to them again. >> the only way to pay them is through the virtual online currency bit point. the payments are incrypted so there is no way to trace them. >>> and a 13-year-old girl remains on life support tonight. a judge yesterday granted mcmath's family a junction keeping her on a ventilator. the family and the hospital are supposed to agree on an inpendent doctor to evaluate her. the hospital responded to an open letter from the mother saying "as medical profession malls it is our responsibility not to create hope when there is one. when one's brain ceases to function, there is none." >>> more than a dozen people are staying somewhere else after a fire tears through a apartment building. the apartments are uninhabitable tonight. the fire appear to have started in the bedroom, but they don't know what caused it. >>> winter arrived today with an icy blast creating a mess for holiday travelers. roadways are slick across the plains. the conditions are bla

i mean, they're holding your files and folders ransom essentially. that's what it is you need to pay in order to be able to have access to them again. >> the only way to pay is through bitcoins. they're encrepted and there's no way to trace it. >>> well, the first day of winter was a doozy for holiday travelers. ice is creating havoc on roadways across the central plains. the dangerous conditions are blamed for at least two deadly accidents in oklahoma. the storm has prompted warnings further to the east and some places could get a foot of know and that could mean lengthy delays at the nation's airports. sfo already starting to feel the effects of the storm when we checked the website. flights coming from boston and atlanta were an hour late and also delays for a few out of dallas and kansas city. oakland was busy today as you might expect and lines at the airport though weren't too bad. but few travelers ran into delays with the flights. >> our flight's delayed over an hour and we are going down to southern california for a holiday party and friend'

hey, we are going to hold this data for ransom until you perry. here is now.hat is the best way to protect yourself? >> that's a great question. we cannot do security tasks on behalf of others. we cannot be have of ourselves. another point in the threat prediction report is about social media. i think a lot of times people think that even because they're sharing something only with the private friend via a mechanism like facebook or twitter that there is going to be no public repetition. the moment you hit san doorpost, you begin to lose control over what happens the information. the same can be said about the critical information like account numbers, social security number, driver's license, birth date. the moment you hit post or send, you begin to lose control of that information. we can be more vigilant about where we post that information or about posting in at all. rich: when you think about the pc or a virus that you can get on a pc, are we seeing that type of movement toward devices, different types of malware, similar where they can steal your pass wo

from a dinghy onto the streets of mum boy and holding the city -- mumbai and holding the city for ransom. it's too big and crazy, it's not going to happen. sadly, they were wrong. it did happen. >> um, did you come to any conclusions about, um, preventive measures or anything that could help, i guess, determine ahead of time this was going to happen? >> >> it's very hard to see that kind of crystal ball gazing. i think the one thing you can be certain is the reason that we're particularly interested in. it's still a powder keg between india and pakistan, two nuclear nations and, of course, in afghanistan with the u.s. forces withdrawing, there's a power vacuum there, so our interest still lies in the fault lines of the region. it's a book of extraordinary human stories and, you know, for us having worked in the region for 18, 20 years, we're interested not in objectifying any characters, but actually finding real stories from the inside. so all of these people, 90% of them are pakistani and indian contributors, and we hope that we've drawn real lives. and they overcame extreme danger and

but in terms of negotiating, paying ransoms, the american policy is not to do that.n behind the scenes of course is a different matter. as peter alexander mentioned, a lot of intelligence resources that are invested into finding them. and attempting to rescue hostages, but paying ransom, the policy is never because it only encourages more following a couple of weeks ago? >> well, i guess levinson was working for the cia when he went to the island that was off the coast of iran. he was going to meet somebody. it was a rendezvous that went wrong and he was kidnapped. whereas weinstein was living in pakistan for seven years, he spoke the local language, he was helping the people through u.s. aid. by the way when weinstein was kidnapped after living there for seven years, he was about to end his assignment in pakistan. he was going to go home in a few days. so sadly, he was kidnapped right before he was about to leave by eight or nine people who went into his home, attacked his guards, kidnapped him from the house that we just saw. and so it's a -- one apparently was wor

no one skilled because -- killed because ship owners pay millions of dollars in ransom. this could be different. the biggest mistake they made today they took an american ship. this is the first one. they took an american ship. >> modern piracy is so commonplace that schools have had to change their curriculum. the academy teaches how to avoid piracy. have lights on around the ship, so people don't approach in the dark. have crews with fire hoses to repel anyone coming up over the rail. students are not taught how to use firearms. many of explosives and shootouts can be dangerous. captain richard phillips belies his hair-raising ordeals which started wednesday. >> they were pointing the ak-47 at the captain. >> the standoff ended with a order issued to the military. it gave the snipers permission to fire if the captain's life was in danger. phillips may have jumped out of the boat which allowed snipers a chance to fire. three pirates were killed and the fourth turned himself in. the captain has not spoken publically but spoke with friends and colleagues who screen him as

foreigners are frequently taken by armed groups in yemen which want ransom money. >>> gaza's only power station has limped back to life for the first time in seven weeks. it received a long-awaited shipment of diesel from israel. gaza needs electricity more than ever. floods have forced 5,000 people from their homes. nick spicer reports. >> reporter: they have to use fishing boats to get to the stranded people. water is 2 meters deep in some places. the government in gaza is putting flood victims up in schools and any other buildings it can find. >> translator: i am flooded, and we had to evacuate and stay in shelters. we're without furniture, blankets or anything. gaza is without fuel, cooking and electricity. where is the islamic world? >> reporter: gaza has already suffered from power outages lasting more than 12 hours every day. the red cross and other aid agencies are doing what they can to help, but the feeling is with gaza under an egyptian/israeli blockade and with bad weather, they and the government can't do enough. >> this is a humanitarian disaster in gaza strip. there's a c
